A salon has been given a five-star rating for its standards of hairdressing.

Millionhairs in Chase Side, Southgate, was granted the award by the Good Salon Guide, which rigorously examines salons up and down the country.

Salon owner, Andy Andreou was delighted with the award.

He said: “The Good Salon Guide is the long-awaited measure that enables clients to know their hairdresser is a true professional. We are delighted to have achieved independent recognition of this salon’s standards.”

With a team of ten, the salon has been in the borough for two years and manager Demitri Jones is beaming with pride.

He said: “Being a part of a young salon and being able to play a part in being given the five-star rating has really made me proud of the team and all of the hard work that has been put in. It gives our clients reassurance that they are in safe hands and is an accolade to be proud of for the team."

Dawson Penn, chairman of the Good Salon Guide, said: “I am delighted that Millionhairs London has succeeded in reaching the standards required to become a member of the Good Salon Guide.

“The Good Salon Guide highlights the professional status of hairdressers and will ensure that clients can have confidence in their choice of hairdresser.”

The guide, which is the equivalent to that of a hotel or pub guide, will reassess the award regularly to make sure the salon continues to perform to high standards.
